Right, so it's the device that has two vac connections - one goes to the dash boost gauge and the other is fed from the vac line that comes through from the engine bay to the LHS foot well. This has a Y piece on mine that connects to both devices. So did you plug the boost gauge vac line directly onto the Y junction that also feeds the APC pressure transducer? Paul
